Mumbai: In the backdrop of rise in number
of HIV positive prisoners, the Bombay High Court has asked
Maharashtra government to examine the possibility of allowing
jail inmates to have sex with their wives in privacy.
Hearing a PIL on treatment facilities for HIV positive
inmates, Justice P B Majumdar and Justice R G Ketkar asked the
state government to explore the possibility of facilitating
prisoners, who have been lodged for two to three years in
jails, to meet their wives sometime every month in total
privacy.
